Is it worth filing a property tax certiorari if my assessment appears reasonable?
Professional Property Valuation Analysis Recommended
Even properties with seemingly reasonable assessments may have grounds for reduction. Our property valuation experts conduct thorough analysis to identify potential savings opportunities that property owners often miss. It's always beneficial to have your assessment professionally reviewed before the filing deadline.
Can The Tax Relief Pro handle Village and City tax assessments in addition to County assessments?
Comprehensive Assessment Challenge Services
Yes, The Tax Relief Pro provides property tax certiorari services for Village, City, and County assessments throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Our expertise covers all levels of local property tax assessments.
How are existing property tax exemptions factored into your savings calculations?
Complete Tax Exemption Analysis
Our property tax specialists include all existing exemptions (such as STAR, Senior, Veterans, etc.) when calculating your potential savings. We ensure that your current tax exemptions are properly applied and maintained throughout the certiorari process.
Will there be a physical inspection of my property during the certiorari process?
Inspection Requirements
In most property tax certiorari cases, neither The Tax Relief Pro nor Nassau/Suffolk County requires a physical property inspection. Our property valuation analysis typically relies on existing records, comparable sales data, and assessment documentation.
Are there risks involved in filing a property tax certiorari in Nassau or Suffolk County?
Minimal Risk with Professional Analysis
There is a rare possibility of an assessment increase, however, The Tax Relief Pro conducts comprehensive property valuation analysis before filing to minimize this risk. Our experience in Nassau and Suffolk Counties helps us identify cases with strong potential for success.
Can The Tax Relief Pro challenge the tax rate in addition to my assessment?
Assessment Focus vs. Tax Rate Challenges
The Tax Relief Pro specializes in challenging property assessments through the grievance process, not tax rates themselves. Tax rates are set by local governments and school districts and require different legal procedures outside our scope of services.
If you reduced my assessment last year, do I need to file again this year?
Annual Filing Requirements
Property tax assessments are reviewed annually by Nassau and Suffolk Counties. A successful reduction in one year does not carry over automatically. To maintain reduced assessments, new property tax certiorari petitions must be filed each year before the April 1st deadline.
